Tata Motors and DIMO Launch 10 New Commercial Vehicles in Sri Lanka

65 Years of Partnership Marked with New Lineup

Tata Motors has launched 10 new commercial vehicles in Sri Lanka with Diesel & Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO). The move celebrates 65 years of partnership and expands Tata Motors’ presence in the Sri Lankan transport market.

Trucks for Cargo and Heavy Duty Operations

The new lineup includes the Tata Ultra series—T.7, T.9, T.12, T.14, and 1918.T. These trucks target city logistics and last-mile delivery. Built on a modern platform, they focus on fuel efficiency, easy handling, and productivity.

For larger loads, Tata Motors introduced the Prima 5530.S and Signa 5530.S. Both are engineered for long-distance freight. They offer strong engines, better fuel economy, and advanced safety systems. These models will support heavy duty transport and infrastructure projects in Sri Lanka.

Buses for Staff and Inter-city Travel

The passenger lineup features three new buses. The LPO 1622 Magna is designed for inter-city travel. It comes with air suspension for comfort and electronic stability control for safety.

The Ultra Prime LPO 8.6 and LPO 11.6 buses seat 34 and 40 passengers. They serve corporate and staff transport. Both models focus on reliability, fuel efficiency, and easy maintenance.
